Goodbye, Crockett Marcel: Dominic Rains Exits ‘Chicago Med’ After 5 Dramatic Seasons

Dominic Rains is hanging up his scrubs at Gaffney Medical Center.

The actor, 42, who plays Dr. Crockett Marcel, is leaving Chicago Med after five seasons, PEOPLE has learned.

Rains’ exit was hinted at during the NBC medical drama’s season 9 finale, entitled “I Think I Know You, but Do I Really?” After a young patient of Crockett’s died, the patient’s father committed suicide — a traumatic event that reminded Crockett of the loss of his own daughter from leukemia. When the doctor relayed the news to Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson), she told Crockett to take time off.

“Take all the time you need, please,” Sharon said.

While Rains is leaving Chicago Med, Jessy Schram, Steven Weber and Luke Mitchell are expected to return, joining original castmembers Oliver Platt, S. Epatha Merkerson and Marlyne Barrett.

His departure follows the announcement that Chicago Med’s coshowrunners Diane Frolov and Andy Schneider are leaving the series after nine years with Allen MacDonald set to take over.

There have been changes elsewhere in the One Chicago franchise over the last year. Eamonn Walker left Chicago Fire as a series regular in the show’s season 12 finale, following other departures from the series including Alberto Rosende in December 2023 and Kara Killmer in February.

Meanwhile, Chicago P.D. said farewell to Tracy Spiridakos, who’d played Detective Hailey Upton since 2017, left the series after the season 11 finale in May.

Chicago Med is expected to return this fall on NBC.
